Fraps
 

Since I suck at siggies, I thought I would give movies a try. Keeping in mind that I suck at anything like this, so I am only trying out fraps trial version first, can anyone give me any pointers on the best way to make movies.
Help me.

Wow... wtf?!

And Spirit... I've never used Fraps... so I can't help... but I was kinda really upset when I saw that post... and I love the Edit =)

:). Sorry I had to edit your post, but it was for the best!!!
And that's okay about the fraps, I have been reading up on it, and OMG, it may perplex me as bad as them siggy thingys, lol.

So the Fraps is a pay account thing? I know that people make movies using Fraps, maybe I should look into it? ô.Ô

And I know it was for the best... wtf is Draein's problem?

From what i understand there is a trial version that you can download. however, the trial version is limited on what it can actually do, plus you have their little logo in your videos. But, I looked at the price of the actual version and it is only $37.00(US). So, if I can figure out the trial version and actually understand the whole concept, I would consider buying the full version.

I've been looking for like the past 5 mins... and I honestly can't see why they charge almost $40 for one of these... I mean... I guess it's time to download a Keygen, and get an account... I could see like $10-20 for an account max... but almost $40 is rediculous >.>;

Is there something else that is similiar to fraps that might be better?

bla~hs and I use fraps. LALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALAALAL ALA. Once you get it, bla~ahs and I can help you and give you pointers :P

Nice Derrick!

Well glad you support your fellow "people who dont pay for anything online and always try to get it free" (We need to think of a shorter title).

But I might try movie making it looks like fun.

Thanks Derrick. I was gonna download it when I get home today and try to play with it this weekend.

I really dislike Fraps. The video files are HUGE. 200MB for a 10 second video <.<

You might have set it to 60fps, the more fps, the bigger the file.

: \

That, my dear, is a bit rediculous >:>;;

What'd you do Derrick? - points at LALALALALAA -

Anyways.

I use the trial version of fraps. I can live with a 30 second limit. What I do is a I use VirtualDub (a free program) that allows you to crop your movies. I usually crop it to cut out the user interface if I have it on when I filmed fraps, but it also works as removing the watermark at the top (just but cutting it out). So I really use two programs to make videos.

You can use Windows Movie Maker to make your movies (that's what I use). It's not the best program out there, but it's really good for starters, and it should come with your Windows when you installed it (I think? I just found it in my computer LOL).

Yeah, windows movie maker comes default.

Now, for some odd reason, I totally missed the second page of posts, LOL.

@Yosei: Change your settings. I have Full Size, 25 fps, and no sound. Currently, I vary from 150mb-180mb for a 30 second video. I believe it'd be even smaller if you chose Half Size.

Is there a way to do this so that it does not eat up all my drive space?

Buy a flashdrive? I'd get a 2gig or higher if its for videos. I use mine for all my art and pictures. But careful with them, they're easy to lose, and easy to break(the usb plug is bendable).

Yeap, what Loki said. I know most people get an external hard drive to solve the problem. 2 gigs isn't really enough for videos (well, for me anyway). Every time I play Fiesta and fraps, I always find myself using up at least another 5 gigs by the end of the day. But, that's just me.

Well, theres other ways also. These two take a while longer but they do save your drive space. When bla~ahs and I made the video, she uploaded the clips into FileFront, and I was able to preview the files there before downloading them. That was one. Two, with the files I downloaded, I had to burn them onto a DVD or CD because I only had about 5gb left of space lol.

I burn my videos on a DVD as a back up. But I really hate doing that because it is such a slow process and it lags my computer, meaning I can't do anything on my comp (like play Fiesta) while it burns!

Which is why I said it takes a while longer, but it works! My flash drive is only a gig, with that size, it can only hold around 5-6 of bla~ahs vids.

Loki - I know what I want for my birthday. HINTxHINT!!!!

That's not fair. He dont want me to play the computer. So why would he get me something that will keep me on the computer more. And besides, I would have to go buy it. He would look at me like I was crazy if I told him I wanted an external harddrive. He would ask me what part of the car does that go on?

Purple or Pink please. But if they do not come in those colors, then black of course.














Are you really gonna get me an external harddrive?

Lol @ Spirit. -Looks to see when your b-day is-

:D

I noticed @_@;;;

I like it, my birthday comes soon too :3

Drools.


But, look at the system requirments. Make sure it is compatible with Vista.



And seriously - I love you.

Lol
